The College of William & Mary Cycling Club is proud to present the 13th annual Tidewater Winter Classic. Collegiate and open racers alike will start with our classic road race on Saturday, featuring the infamous uphill finish into York River State Park.

The Stokesville Sixty/Forty highlights some of the finest single track around the Stokesville Lodge/Campground and the George Washington National Forest. The route travels along newly aligned trails made possible by a Recreational Trails Program Grant that was administered by the Shenandoah Valley Bicycle Colaition. They have become the George Washington National Forests most sought after trails. Both the 60 and 40k loops will tour all of Narrowback Mountain concluding with the newly revamped Tillman West Trail! At this point the 40k riders will make their way back to the Stokesville Lodge and Campground to end a most amazing time on the trail. The 60k riders will be loving life making their way up to Lookout Mountain for a downhill ripper that will keep you wanting more the WHOLE way down. Lookout Mtn Trail will dazzle you as you ride along a highway of rock armored trail that wraps around the top of the mountain. Riders will then cross over the North River swigging bridge to start making their way back to the Stokesville Lodge and Campground finish.

What: The Harris-Roubaix is another great, fun cycling event brought to you by SVBC. It takes place every Spring on the same day as the Paris-Roubaix. The group leaves from the center of Harrisonburg at noon for a casual ride to a family farm about 7 miles to the north. From the farm there will be a 10-15 mile loop marked for your enjoyment. You are more then welcome to ride the loop once or more, and there is a informal 3-lap race that will crown the Champion of the Harris-Roubaix.

What type of bikes will there be? One great thing about the Harris-Roubaix is the diversity of bikes. There will be folks on road bikes (durable 25c tires minimum suggested), mountain bikes, tandems, fixed-gears, single speeds and kids’ trailers.

What to bring: Your bike, items to change a flat, water, a smile and some food to share at the farm–if you bring a dish to share, pot-luck style, to Court Square before the ride, SVBC will bring it out to the farm.

The roads of Roubaix A majority of the Roubaix loop will be smooth gravel roads to the Northwest of Harrisonburg, located around the Singers Glen area. This area backs up on the Great North Mountain, so there may be several steep hill climbs.

Is this a group ride or a race? It is a group ride to the farm. There, everyone will regroup and receive instructions about the loop and cue sheet if needed. Folks are welcome to ride at any pace. The group will split up during the loop rides, with the race-heads battling it out for the crown while the majority enjoy the beautiful views of the north.

Does it cost anything? Not to you. The Shenandoah Valley Bicycle Coalition covers the cost of sag support, snacks, beverages, markings and cue sheets. But please become a member and JOIN SVBC to show your support for this other local cycling events.

Why

Every year, students at Miller School of Albemarle dedicate service hours to expanding the amazing network of campus trails on the school's scenic 1600 acre campus. The miles of trails and unigue cycling-specific features have progressed to the point that they can not possibly be showcased in a traditional 3 to 5 mile cross country race format. The Conquer the Hill course highlights many of the best trails, with special attention on the newest creations. A portion of the proceeds from this event will go towards supporting the Miller School of Albemarle Campus Trails program and help in the creation of more great trails and trail features!
